About Outdoor Canvas Art
Images
The amazing clarity of our images in this large format for Outdoor Art starts with licensing the finest professional Photographers whose work can be enlarged while still retaining the crispness and detail of the original photo. Using the Gicleé method of technology and state of the art equipment, we able to reproduce these artists’ works for use in a variety of outdoor applications.
Giclee
Gicleé is the French word meaning: “to spray or to squirt with a nozel.” The term “gicleé print” connotes an elevation in printmaking technology. Images are generated from high resolution digital scans and printed with archival quality inks onto canvas. The gicleé printing process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction. Another tremendous advantage of gicleé printing is that digital images can be reproduced to almost any size and onto various media. The quality of the gicleé print rivals more traditional methods and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
Gallery Wrap
This is a method of stretching artists’ canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides onto stretcher bars and is secured to the back of the frame. The term gallery wrap refers to an image that appears on the sides of the frame as well as the front. The image on the sides is either a continuation or a reflection of the main image, or an otherwise fabricated element such as a solid color or colors derived from the adjacent image. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
Hanging System
Designed to withstand 60 mph winds, each print includes our simple yet effective hardware for outdoor installation. The “hooks” can be screwed into stone, stucco, brick, wood or aluminum. Brackets affixed to the back of the image snap into place on the hooks. A template is included for ease of installation. Waterproof, UV protected and gallery wrapped on 1 ½” vinyl stretcher bars with stainless steel staples. This Outdoor Canvas Art can be placed in any outdoor location with direct exposure to the elements.
